I become a 70s TV show detective, and drive Lorelei, a 1972 1-of-1 dark metallic brown Lincoln Continental Sedan through the fall foliage of upstate NY. Police chase scenes never looked so good!
This was the era of earth tones, rock and roll, disco and big brown cars. Cheesy sport coat wearing detectives were on TV and life seemed a lot simpler. But if you own a car like this 72 Lincoln Continental, you can travel back in time, find a secluded road, and have fun.
One cool bit of trivia is that big brown cars were a staple of NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) from Judas Priest using a 1974 brown Cadillac Eldorado convertible in the 1980 music video Breaking the Law, to Saxon picking a brown 1973 Lincoln Continental nearly identical to my own! The song initially was meant to be about a big, heavy steam locomotive (which later would become Princess of the Night), but eventually was re-written into the big American car anthem, Wheels of Steel. The song features lyrics about a speeding 69 Chevy, but the video showcased a brown Continental, which later became the official Saxon band car!
Big, fast, heavy American cars do indeed fit along nice in the world of Heavy Metal
